From plinking and carbine classes to serious training, this mag is ready to run in your favorite AR.
Translucent Red Body – Instant Visual Round Count
One of the standout features of this EXD mag is its translucent red polymer body:
Lets you see your remaining ammunition at a glance without pulling the mag or guessing.
Makes it easier to track round count during drills, competitions, or defensive training.
High-visibility red coloration helps quickly identify mags loaded with a particular ammo type or training rounds.
For shooters who like to color-code or visually confirm load status, this mag makes managing your gear a lot simpler.
Enhanced Polymer Construction – Tough and Reliable
Mission First Tactical builds the EXD line using a high-strength polymer, purpose-designed for real-world use:
Impact-resistant body designed to withstand drops, field abuse, and the rigors of hard training.
Reinforced feed lips help maintain long-term reliability and reduce deformation over time.
Engineered for use in adverse conditions where dust, dirt, and weather are part of the environment.
This is not a “disposable” mag—it's built to be part of your long-term kit.
Anti-Tilt Follower & Reliable Feeding
Feeding reliability is everything in a magazine, and the EXD is designed with that in mind:
Anti-tilt follower helps keep cartridges aligned as they feed, reducing the likelihood of nose dives and misfeeds.
Smooth internal geometry supports consistent stacking and feeding of .223/5.56 rounds.
Designed for use with common brass and many steel-case training loads (always verify function with your specific ammo and rifle).
For training, competition, or defensive configurations, a smooth-feeding mag is essential—and this EXD is built to deliver.
Textured Exterior & Ergonomic Design
The EXD magazine isn't just about what's inside; it also focuses on handling:
Textured gripping surfaces provide positive purchase during mag changes, even with gloves or sweat.
Subtle contouring allows for a natural index and secure grip, making reloads faster and more consistent.
Slightly flared base design can make it easier to grab from mag pouches or belt carriers.
Whether you're running speed reloads or administratively loading and unloading, the mag feels secure and controllable in hand.
Compatible with Common AR-15 Gear & Pouches
This 30-round EXD mag is designed to work with standard 5.56/AR-15 magazine pouches and carriers:
Fits most Kydex mag carriers, nylon pouches, and plate carrier shingles built around STANAG mags.
30-round form factor offers the familiar size and feel most AR users are accustomed to.
It integrates easily into your existing loadout—no need to reconfigure your kit.

Range and training days – See round count while you run drills and practice mag changes.
Competition shooters – Quick visual checks and distinct color help with stage planning and mag ID.
